Raunchy Paul?

You gotta be kidding me.

I wish I was, man,

but that's what they said.

(SIGHS) Son of a b*tch.

All right, we're on

in 10 seconds.

(MUSIC PLAYING)

ANNOUNCER:
Now here he is,

the king of the late-night mic...

the one, the only

Charlie Crowe on your radio.

This is the tri-county

superstation KZTO,

and you're listening to

"The Night Shift" with Charlie Crowe.

Welcome, all you people

of the night,

all you maniacs, brainiacs,

and insomniacs who won't hit the sack.

Let's open up the phone lines

and hear what's on your mind.

First caller,

you're on the air.

JEFF:
Have you

seen them yet, Charlie?

Oh, it's Jeff.

I thought I might hear

from you again.

JEFF:
Did you get

the package I left you?

Mm-hmm, I did, Jeff.

That is some interesting stuff.

- What is it?

- I don't know.

I'm trying to figure that out,

but I'm afraid if I go to sleep,

I'll never wake up again.

Why exactly did you send me

that package, Jeff?

It's evidence.

I'm not crazy.

They come when you sleep.

Every night, I close my eyes

and they come.

And I'll wiggle my toe

or try and move my arms

just to wake myself up, but it's like

they don't want you to be awake.

Mm. Well, now you're starting

to worry me, Jeff.

How old are you?

- 17.

- 17, I see.

Are your parents around?

Can I talk to them?

My mom works nights.

I'm here alone.

Jeff, if you're afraid,

you should go to a friend's house

- or... I don't know.

- I have a gun.

Uh, what do you need a gun for?

You can't get away from them.

Do you understand me?

It's your thoughts.

When you think about them,

that's how they find you.

It's like sharks drawn

to blood in water.

The only question is,

how do you stop thinking

about something?

Uh, Jeff, are you still with us?

- They're here.

- Okay.

Now, uh, just...

just calm down, Jeff.

I want you to call someone.

Uh...

Uh, let's... let's just put

that gun down

and... so we can talk,

because, Jeff,

I know that you are not crazy.

(GUNSHOT)

(STATIC HISSING)

Jeff?

Jeff? Hello?

Yeah, we're gonna go

to a commercial break now

to, uh, make sure

everything's okay.

Now nobody panic.

This could be a hoax.

We will find Jeff and, uh,

make sure that he is all right.

ANNOUNCER:
Tired of that slow computer,

those inevitable crashes?

Save costly repairs

and downtime

with the best solution

to your problem...

JEFF:
And I've got a gun here.

CHARLIE:
Oh, listen, that's...

you know, that's not the answer.

- Is there, like, a friend or...

(CRYING)

They're in the room right now.

I see them in the room right now.

- What... who is in the room?

- Charlie...

- Who's in the room?

(GUNSHOT)

Do you want me to call...
